Default Session8 File Conversion

Thinking of upgrading Session8 PC to ProTools for NT is really exciting... But...
I think that Professional working with Session8 PC needs a tool to convert his old session files to the ProTools Session Format. I talked to several people at Digidesign and after this I don't think they are going to release some kind of conversion-tool. It can't be impossible. Digidesign should know that for professional working people it's a must to be able to use older session files. A conversion tool would be a strong aspect for the decision wether to upgrade to ProTools for NT or not.
Is anybody out there understanding what I'm talking about?

you can only import audio files to pro tools, not the session, so you need to rebuild the whole thing, bummer!

Digging up a 23 year old thread and offering advice, even. I think that's a record on DUC. Congratulations! It's like archeology!

Funny, yes let have some crazy hacker to build a converter for that purpose. I still have so many old song that I made using the session8, somewhere in one of my backup drive. There is build that I can't redo. A few years ago I start reworking on a song but it endup different.


It's never too late hey!
